What is facelift surgery?

It is a surgical procedure of lifting and tightening up your saggy facial tissues. This surgery is popularly referred to as Rhytidectomy in medical terms.

Not only with age, our skin starts losing its elasticity, but also, stress, exposure to the sun's harmful radiation, gravity, and several other factors are equally responsible. Though skin lagging with age is normal, the visibility of pre-aging symptoms is depressing.

This surgery includes removal or redistribution of excess skin or fat, smoothing out creases, and lifting or tightening up the skin.

The general procedure of the surgery and recovery time.

Before you go for the surgery, make sure you are prepared from your side, by,

• Stop smoking

• Discontinue consuming aspirin, anti-inflammatory painkillers, and herbal medicines that reduce bruising and bleeding.

• Ask someone to accompany you before and after the surgery.

The operation is performed on patients under general anesthesia. Doctors make small incisions in the hairline and around the earlobes to the lower scalp. Excess tissue and fat deposits are removed. Then, the skin is stretched and tightened, and any excess skin present on the face is removed before closing the incision.

If neck upliftment is required, the same process is followed and the incision is made under the chin. The incision is closed with minuscule stitches. This process can take several hours or longer depending upon whether another facial cosmetic surgery is required. There are several techniques for performing this surgery. Patients should discuss them with the doctor beforehand. 

Once the surgery is successful, the face is wrapped up with bandages to reduce the recovery time and swelling. To speed up the healing process, patients need to take sufficient rest. Within a week, the stitches are removed and there is the least chance of any major problems. Others can be treated with oral medications.
